A message from Buckinghamshire Council:
“The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG2) is a new government grant scheme that funds energy-saving upgrades for eligible residents with off-gas heating systems.
We are working with the Greater South East Net Zero Hub and AgilityEco to deliver HUG2 in Buckinghamshire.
If you’re eligible, the grant could fund:
– insulation and ventilation upgrades (that will help keep you warm in winter and cool in summer)
– a low carbon heating system such as an air source heat pump (which will mean upgrading any existing heating system)
– heating controls which make sure you only use heat when you need it
– an energy efficient hot water solution (to keep your water warm for longer)
– solar photovoltaic (PV) systems (which generate electricity)
– energy efficient lighting (which is cheaper to run)
A survey will be conducted to identify what is suitable for your home.
These upgrades could help you to reduce your carbon footprint and spend less on your energy bills.”
